Process at a glance

Timeframes shown are based on typical results. Because each project is unique, actual timeframes may vary.

We’ll work with you to define the details of your appliance solution.

Hardware configuration, costs, warranty, support, and all other relevant issues to support the project and ensure it fits your needs. In addition to identifying the manufacturing process that works best, the prototype team will also work with the customer on the final product design. Our focus is to provide design for manufacturing (DFM) analysis and point out cost reduction and system enhancement opportunities for each individual product at the prototype level.

One size does not fit all.

We believe that customization goes beyond simply designing a custom plate with your logo on it. While even the largest OEM manufacturers provide you with only a few choices of hardware, Thinkmate uses a much wider choice of best-in-industry components, platforms and form factors from different leading vendors to ensure your appliance is truly tailored for your needs.

Fully Custom Bezels, Paint, Badges and logos

We can have a custom faceplate or bezel cut from a material of your choice such as a plastic or a brushed
aluminum that would best fit the needs and aesthetics of your solution. Every detail of your chassis can
be completely customized with paint, vinyl or silk screening to match your design exactly.

Your intellectual property is safe with us.

Your application will be loaded to your specifications, and depending on your requirements may
be pre-configured to match your end-customer's environment. We take extra care to ensure the safety
of your intellectual property. Our commitment to the process allows you to deliver a true turn-key
product.

Quality hardware assembly and packaging.

Our ISO 9001:2008 certified production facility is able to manage complex assemblies with precision and a focus on quality. We perform a complete system test on every product we build, including a rigorous burn-in and re-test by senior technician to ensure that each unit is flawless. We will also develop work instructions for the final production units and if desired, design custom packaging material for your appliance.

Warehousing, Fulfilment and Support

Thinkmate will act as a "virtual warehouse" for you and will stock your finished or semi-finished products in secured areas. From there, your solution may be blind shipped to keep our involvement transparent to your customers. Each system we build comes with three-year return-to-depot warranty. Extended warranty options such as 24/7, 4 hour response on-site services are also available.
